I believe that's actually a big old capacitor and not the battery. The battery would have been clipped between the two little cone-shaped metal prongs seen in the 2nd photo.

Got the textured paint in and I opted to not Bondo the sheath, so I painted away. It turned out okay I think. The wrinkling is a bit different than I wanted and doesn't quite match the original finish seen on Kobolds but it does work.
I overpsrayed a bit and there's some uneven build-up but I'm not going to re-do it as it looks fine.
Linhof logo was well covered so thankfully no Bondo choice was good.
It hasn't fully set either (sat for 19-ish hours) and I was able to kind of hand-rub it to tamp some of its pronounced look down. Almost like a mild hand-buffing.
Next up is the d-ring assembly mod and then that's it.

Looking great! Still trying to decide what type of paint to go with for mine ...
Any luck tracking down that bulb?

Just saw this thread! I was able to achieve a worn wrinkle finish by using ultra fine steel wool lightly on the texture. Would be perfect for this!!
